I have made this dish 5 times and i love it. I tweaked it a bit like most people do but tried to stay true to the recipe. I put in more carrots & potatos, i also add 1 sweet potato, I use 5-6 cloves of garlic and double the amount of red pepper flakes and paprika. I also use chicken breast instead of thighs and i dont put it in the oven (dosent thicken much). With those changes this is a fall/winter FAVORITE!!

The flavours were nice. I used water as per the recipe and not broth or stock as some reviewers have suggested, and the flavours were vibrant and fresh. I did not find it as labor-intensive as one reviewer, perhaps because I didn't bother removing the casing from the chorizo and I left everything in the same (oven-proof) pan, so there was no need to take out the chicken or dirty another dish. I'm giving only 3 stars because although it was good, it wasn't mind-blowing, and frankly, we just found it kind of a pain to eat. You really need a fork, knife, and spoon to manage it. Oh--it would be helpful if the recipe stated whether or not to drain the chickpeas (garbanzos). I sort of drained them, but left some liquid in.

We had this over rice. It was very flavorful and one of the top dishes I've made from this site. Unfortunately, it wasn't as spicy as I expected. Actually, it wasn't spicy at all.. ( i love spicy) I even added extra red pepper.. I will try again and adjust the spices.

What a treat.. Im a new cook but knew enough to use Chicken Broth instead of water. I also added Cayenne Pepper along with the Flakes and used Polish Kielbasa instead of the sausage in the recipe. This is an amazing dish full of flavor (dont know how other reviewers didnt get the kick.. maybe it was my Cayenne pepper addition) For me it was spicy and the vegetables were nice and firm and not soggy. Cant wait for the leftovers!

Either I did something wrong or this recipe had very little flavor. The flavor is not there and even though I cooked it longer than it said, both on the stove and in the oven, it never thickened. It remained like a broth. There is nothing in it to thicken it. I would not make this again.

Apart from using Andouille sausage (I wasn't paying attention when I took the package out of the freezer), I pretty much made this as written. It turned out way better than I expected! Husband picked out the potato, but he isn't a spud fan anyway. I wasn't too sure about the carrot, but it worked really well. I served it with some buttermilk biscuits to soak up the sauce. Good stuff. Thanks!

This was a nice, hearty stew. I used chicken broth instead of water and added a little chili powder and cumin for an extra kick.

Tastes okay but seem to be lacking something I can't put my finger on. Hubby prefer Harvest Chicken Stew.

This was pretty good stew. I used 1.5 onions instead of 3. I only had ground chorizo, so I cooked it first and added with the chicken. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs which seemed to get lost. Notes for next time - double the chorizo and chicken and more carrots. Serve with crusty bread to absorb the juice. Yummy!

This was a lot of work and didn't quite have the flavor I was hoping for.

This stew was so good; however I think that if it was served with rice it would taste even better. If you don't like spicy food, then you may want to cut back on the red pepper flakes.
